Playing around with some figure studies to make an awkward pile of bodies. And also some sticks.

Work in progress. Adding some colour to this one, digitally colouring each individually leaf is strangely meditative.

Have been thinking a bit about representations of change as we shift very definitely into autumn (dashing toward winter), and made this drawing as a response. Playing around again with certain symbolism - the lantern is a giver of light, of enlightenment, and also of change. Lavender blossom, like lilac blossom, can represent ongoing renewal. The dagger, often a symbol for the death of an individual, can also be associated with season change, like the sun dagger of the summer solstice. And a dead bird, again often represents a passing, but also renewal - the end of something, but also the beginning of something else.

Variation on a recent drawing of a figure with lanterns.
The lantern is a common symbol found both art historically, as well as in several areas of esotericism and Eastern mysticism. While its primary meaning as a symbol is usually fairly obvious - it’s a thing that provides light - it can also represent motivation, desire, guidance, truth, virtue, enlightenment, and knowledge. In the Tarot tradition, the Hermit holds a lantern, with such a card possibly indicating some type of soul-searching. Inverted however, the same card can become a signifier of looming change, often concerning a decline in mental health through stress, anxiety, or paranoia. It can act too as a sign of being unfulfilled, and of instability.

Cut hands (with flowers)
.
.
.
There have been various psychological studies showing a measurable correlation between exposure to flowers with positive mental health benefits. Whilst a bunch of flowers isn’t going to address the complexities of depression - for some they offer a brief moment of relaxation, which can ease some aspects of things like anxiety and stress. If only for a minute.

It shouldn’t need saying, but it still does - remember to take a minute to be mindful of those around you.

Having resigned myself to totally failing at any sort of Inktober thing this year - mostly from being wiped out by a very a busy month at work, followed predictably by a cold - I’ve at least had a go at doing something in ink. So, here is a reworked composition, from something did a few weeks ago.

Working on digitally coloring a composition I made - but where should it go? prints? stickers? t-shirts? novelty bedspread?

Work in progress... figure with lanterns, digital version of a composition that borrows symbolism from various traditions concerning light, energy, and growth, taking source from a scattershot of mythological, folklore, religious traditions, and esoteric practice. Mostly though, its fun painting the leaves.

Some works based on Sigmund Freud - influential psychologist and founder of psychoanalysis.

I’ve got about 50 of these psychology portraits now, so I’m going to start collecting them together to make a book.

Inez Beverly Prosser (1897-1934) was arguably the first African-American female to receive a PhD in psychology. Growing up in small town Texas, Prosser’s father, a waiter, encouraged his children to find the best education they could. Prosser herself contributed to a college fund to support her younger siblings. Eventually gaining some teaching work, she then began working toward a Masters degree in Educational Psychology at the University of Colorado. Furthering her teaching career she focused on the educational and psychological development of Black students. As Principle of Tougaloo High School she received a grant to continue her studies, and eventually gained her psychology PhD from the University of Cincinnati in 1933.
Prosser’s thesis ‘The Non-Academic Development of Negro Children in Mixed and Segregated Schools’ became an important text for issues relating to education, reform, social development, racial identity, and other topics relevant to segregation. In her dissertation Prosser argues that racial injustices and feelings of isolation had damaging effects on the psyche of Black children. Her work became key in the debate about educating Black children - as a Black female psychologist, her voice became crucial due to the absence of Black psychology from mainstream American psychology. Her research underpinned the 1954 ruling that segregated schools were inherently unequal. Her contributions to the improvement of education for all students can be felt in many policies still being used throughout the teaching community today.
She accepted minimal wages for her teaching work, often notably lower than white colleagues who had fewer responsibilities. Despite her influence, her PhD thesis remains unpublished. She was killed in a car accident in 1934, a year after gaining her psychology doctorate.
